Registration is now available for the March 17 Talking Freight Seminar. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** Date/Time: March 17, 2021 1:00 – 2:30 pm ET<x-apple-data-detectors://1> Topic: Trending Research in Freight Transportation Planning and Logistics Registration: https://ops.fhwa.dot.gov/freight/fpd/talking_freight/index.htm Description and Presentations: Freight transportation planning and logistics have continued to evolve in recent years as many organizations are placing increased emphasis on understanding the dynamics behind freight movements to better grasp when and where they take place. Some research has focused on freight and land use, based on the realization that certain types of land uses generate greater volumes or frequencies of freight movements. Other initiatives have emphasized freight modeling, to better comprehend how freight shipments use the transportation network and how such models can be utilized by public sector agencies. Still other efforts have examined truck activities within a given geographic area, to allow organizations studying their area to better understand truck flows to, from, within, and through the study area. All of these initiatives have the potential to become more widely utilized by various transportation organizations in the coming years. This webinar will discuss current freight transportation planning and logistics research initiatives and how these projects are enhancing transportation organizations’ freight transportation planning and analysis efforts. Freight-Efficient Land Uses: Methodology, Strategies and Tools This presentation will provide an overview of a current National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) project that examines how freight transportation movements could be made more efficient by modifying land use patterns. SPEAKER: * Jose Holguin-Veras, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Agent-based Freight Model Development and Applications This presentation will discuss methods for organizations to develop accurate and reliable freight models and applications that can examine freight movements in small geographic areas. SPEAKER: * Monique Stinson, Argonne National Laboratory Visualization Tool for Real Estate and Truck Activity This presentation will examine how the Port of New York-New Jersey created a tool that captures freight carrier flows to, from, within, and through the port’s regional area within northern New Jersey, allowing the port to more easily identify major origins and destinations for traffic serving the port. SPEAKER: * Huajing Shi, Port Authority of New York and New Jersey ******************************************************************************************************************************************* If you have not yet participated in Talking Freight, I encourage you to do so.
